    The map allows an overview of relevant research topics as well as their systematization and the listing of experts and their work concerning these topics. The already established knowledge transfer platform STUDIEN.at will be fully integrated.
    • Know-how export platform
    In order to increase the transparency of the market for suppliers and contractors of tourism research a cooperation market place will be established. It provides the opportunity to find co-operation partners more efficiently, which gains more and more relevance particularly with regard to the internationalization.
